Re-zoning may permit
liquor store in Auburn
COUNCIL LISTENS TO RE-ZONING PROPOSAL
.plan would move state liquor store to Glendean shopping center
By Tim Hunt
Assistant News Editor
In a public hearing Tuesday
night, the Auburn City Council
heard arguments on a controver­sial
ordinance calling for the re-zoning
of Glendean Shopping
Center to permit location of a state
packaged-liquor store.
With the lease running out on the
state liquor store now located in
Opelika, officials of the Alabama
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
have approached representatives
of the shopping center with the idea
of relocating in the Glendean area.
Faculty pay increase approved
By Steve Farish
Plainsman Staffwriter
Auburn's faculty and adminis­tration
received an early
Christmas gift in the form of a pay
raise from the Board of Trustees
which was approved at the Boards
December meeting.
The pay hikes range from $420 to
$900, and are graduated according
to present level of pay and status as
a nine or 12 month employee.
The graduation of the raises
means that while a higher-salaried
employee will receive a larger
raise in terms of dollars, the
percent of his raise will be less than
that of a lower-salaried employee.
The raises took effect by Board
resolution on Jan. 1, 1980.
Sen. Bob Harris, member of the
Board's budget committee and
sponsor of the measure, said the
funding for the raises was provided
by the recent increase in tuition.
He said "this is what we hoped for
some months ago" when the Board
voted for the tuition raise.
Harris hinted during the meeting
that there may be even more raises
in the near tuture for the faculty.
He said that Gov. Fob James has
indicated that proposed increased
tax revenues that make up the
state educational trust fund (from
which Auburn University funding
comes) will probably rise enough
"that at that juncture funds would
be available" for a raise. Harris
warned, however, that such an
opinion by the governor could
change if the amount of tax re­venue
takes a down turn in the next
fiscal quarter.
Any increase in funding to pro­vide
for salaries would have to
come by an act of the legislature,
Harris said.
The Board was not pressured
into making its decision by any
outside group, Harris added.
He said he had received no
comments, positive nor negative,
from faculty as a result of the
action.
Harris also responded during the
meeting of the Board to comments
by government officials that "insti-tuitions
of higher education in the
state of Alabama have somehow
not made a full or accurate ac­counting
of funds they have avail­able
for operation and mainte­nance."
He said, "I am well
satisfied that all the monies that
have come to us, either form state
sources of tuition, have been prop­erly
utilized or have been properly
included and accounted for. "
• "We would invite any represen­tatives
who have concerns about
our funds and the uses to which
they are being put to come and visit
with our Board,!' Harris added.
Search process nears end,
committee reviewing finalists
By John Farish
and Steve Farish
Plainsman Staffwriter s
The process of selecting a new
president for Auburn University
began to pick up its pace during the
holidays, and it appears concrete
nominations will be made before
the Board of Trustees at its next
meeting Jan. 28.
Sen. Robert Harris, chairman of
the Board's presidential search
committee, said the committee is
in the process of reducing the
number of applications it has
received from 200 to ' 'between four
and eight." He said the committee
has already reviewed a number of
the applications, and that he
expects the committee to present
the final nominations to the Board
at the Jan. 28 meeting.
Harris said the committeehas felt
influenced by two factors in
speeding its search job. The impor­tance
of having a president in place
so that "he would have some
opportunity to comment in the latter
stages of the legislative session" on
issues affecting Auburn, and the
"general uneasiness" among facu­lty
members concerning the lack of
a top man have caused the commi­ttee
to go into long sessions, he
said.
Harris promised that both
student and faculty groups would
be involved in the final selection
process. He said the Board will
make the names of the finalists
public, and that these nominees
will come to Auburn to be inter­viewed
by both the student and
faculty advisory committees.
SGA President Ron Taylor has
already begun to participate in the
selection process. He and Chris
Simms, president of the SGA at
Auburn University at
Montgomery, who are both ex
officio members of the Board of
Trustees, have been allowed to
view all 200 of the resumes sent to
the Board.
Taylor has argued since the
beginning of the selection process
that it was his right to see the

AU graduate wins Rhodes Scholarship
By Anne Harvey
Assistant News Editor
Susan Karamanian, a recent
graduate of Auburn.was awarded a
Rhodes Scholarship last month.
She was one of 32 college students
in the United States named as a
Rhodes Scholar this year.
"I was shocked," Karamanian
said. "Sincerely, I thought I didn't
get it. I felt like I botched my
interview. I really broke down
because I wasn't expecting it. Your
whole life can be determined in one
moment. It can sign a ticket to
almost everything in life."
Karamanian was selected on the
basis of grades and other activi­ties.
She graduated Dec. 13 with a
3.97 grade point average and re­ceived
the highest honor in general
economics with a double minor in
political science.
She was seventh out of an Arts
and Sciences senior class of 614 and
was the top student in economics.

"You're kidding." That was
probably the reaction of most
students when told the Eagles
will be in Auburn on Feb. 1. But
it's true, and tickets are going
fast. For more on the quarter's

State committees composed of
past Rhodes Scholars select 10
people from their state to compete
for the scholarship. These 10 are
interviewed by the committee and
two are selected to represent the
state at the district level.
Twelve students compete at the
district level and four students
receive the scholarship.
Karamanian was the only girl
selected in the district. Two of the
others were from Harvard and one
from Texas A & M.
She applied last year, but wasn't
selected at the state level. "There's
nothing stopping any one Indivi­dual
from doing it," Karamanian
said," but they need to talk to an
advisor about it."
The American students selected
as Rhodes Scholars will join an
international group from 16 other
countries for study at Oxford Uni­versity
in England for a year,
beginning next September.
Karamanian has been on the
Dean's List every quarter she has
been here. She helped initiate
Auburn's first full honors program
which was established in the
School of Arts and Sciences this
year.
"Rarely do we find, even among
our better students, a young person
as excited about learning and
growing in knowledge as we have
found in Miss Karamanian,"
Edward Hobbs, dean of Arts and
Sciences said.
She is a member of Alpha
Lambda Delta, a freshman
honorary, in which she was vice-president,
and is a member of the
Pre-Law Society. She is also a
member of Pi Sigma Alpha, a
political science honorary;
Lambda Sigma, the sophomore
leadership scholarship honorary;
Mortar Board and Omicron Delta
Kappa, senior leadership and scho­larship
honoraries.
She has served in several offices
of the Student Government Asso­ciation
and the Model United
Nations program. She was a
member of the Varsity Women's
Golf Team during her freshman
year.
Karamanian has been working
as a research assistant to Dr. John
G. Heilman, evaluator of the
Alabama Energy Extension
Service in the department of poli­tical
science. She will continue the
job through Winter quarter.
She was awarded the Phi Kappa
Phi Outstanding Freshman in the
School of Arts and Sciences in 1977,
the Charles P. Anson Award for the
See SCHOLAR page A-3
The Council voted to delay final
decision on the proposal until the
next council meeting in two weeks.
Prior to the start of the public
hearing, Council President Bill
Allen warned officials and citizens
not to approach the ordinance as a
"wet or dry issue.
"Alcohol, for better or worse, is
already in the city of Auburn," said
Allen. "Alcohol is not the issue here
but rather the re-zoning of a
certain area so as to permit pack­age
liquor sale."
Despite the president's opening
remarks, much of public hearing
was filled with arguments concern­ing
the immorality of alcoholic
beverages.
City planner Pat Borelli began
the hearing by briefing the Council
on the Planning Commission's
"Unanimous recommendation in
favor of the re-zoning ordinance.
Borelli was joined by S.G.A.
liason David Armbrester in sup­port
of the ordinance especially in
consideration of increased revenue
for the City of Auburn.
Borelli and Armbrester both
pointed out the possible increases .
in city revenue should the Alabama
legislature pass the two percent
sales tax which it is considering
this session.
Charles Elkins, a resident of the
neighborhood adjacent to the shop­ping
center opposed the location of
a state liquor store in the Glendean
area.
"Additional revenues from the
sale of liquor would be less profi­table
than the damage done by
placing the package store there,"
Elkins said.
Strong opposition to the ordi­nance
was also voiced by Rev. Bo
Childs, pastor of the Parkway
Baptist Church in Auburn.
"If a package store is placed at
Glendean, the neighborhood
children would see alcohol as much
a part of life as aspirin, bread and
baseball," Childs said.
Childs also cited traffic problems
for the residential neighborhoods
surrounding the shopping center
and added that "there has to be a
better, less populated area to
locate this store in if it must come
to Auburn."
As for the question of increased
.revenues, Childs said that "the city

'Roots'author heads UPC list
By Tom Hilyer
Plainsman Staff writer
The University Program Council
will present three major speakers
during its lecture series this quar­ter.
UPC Horizons Director Dana
Kerbs said the speakers are Frank
Abagnale, Ivor Richard and Alex
Haley.
Frank Abagnale, the first
speaker in the series, will be on the
Auburn University campus Jan. 15
and will lecture at the Student
Activities Building at 8 p.m.
Abagnale is known as this cen­tury's
great imposter, con man and
master forger whose exploits will
soon be the subject of a major
motion picture, "Catch Me If You
Can," starring Dustin Hoffman.
"Airline pilot, doctor, lawyer,
stockbroker, FBI agent, college
professor and more—Abagnale
was a millionaire twice over before
he was 21. And he stole every nickel
of it," says a promotional release
for his lecture.
Abagnale now is retained by big
business to lecture on methods of
preventing the very crimes he was
so expert at executing.
He will talk about his escapades
and escapes and such matters as
check forgery, counterfeiting,
bogus documents and other frauds.
Ivor Richard, British ambassa­dor
to the UN, is the second
speaker in the Horizons series and
will lecture at the Student
Activities Building Thursday, Jan.
31 at 8 p.m.
Richard, the Oxford educated
son of a Welsh coal mining
engineer "is a burley, ebullient,
irrepressible Welshman with little
patience for flowery diplomatic
niceties. He likes nothing better

AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI NAMED MAN OF THE YEAR-Recently
"Time" magazine selected Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to
receive its most prestigious award. That honor is the title of Man of the
Year. That has come to be somewhat of a shock to many people but taken
into full context of the requirements for the award, it is no wonder that he
was chosen. The title goes to the person who "has done the most to change
the news, for better or for worse." But Khomeini is not the only
antagonist to receive this coveted award. Some others to receive it in the
past have been Adolf Hitler (1938) and Joseph Stalin (1939).

GAS TAX REIMBURSEMENT-i
The Interim Highway Committee of the State Legislature has been
meeting to draw up legislation which would give some farmers and motor
carriers a break on cost of gasoline bought under the proposed 5 percent
wholesale tax. The bill would provide annual grants to reimburse
farmers for gasoline used for agricultural purposes and would reimburse
motor carriers who already qualify for credits on current fuel taxes.

members of the Board, even though
he is a non-voting member.
Taylor, who is chairman of the
student advisory committee, said
that further input by he or the
committee would take one of
several forms. "One possibility,"
said Taylor, could be interviews
with the final candidates by the
student advisory committee," pro-oably
leading into discussions with
the search committee."
Taylor also suggested that he .

Taylor said committee sources

who live near Auburn." He
added "these interviews are a part
of the process to narrow down the
field of candidates" to the final to
eight candidates.

his committee has been able to

prominent resumes.
King said his committee met

AU dean tapped for James's staff
By John Mangels
Plainsman Staff writer
Dr. Gerald W. Johnson, associate
dean for the School of Arts and
Sciences has been named by Gov.
Fob James to serve as director of
the newly created state office of
policy research.
Johnson, who has taken a leave
of absence from his position as
acting head of the University's
political science department, will
be responsible for researching
major issues facing the state, and
may draft position papers on these
issues.
"The governor will identify these
issues in order of priority, and the
function of my office will be to act
as an advisor to the governor, to
develop positions on these issues,"
Johnson said.
Johnson said policy research had
been carried out before by "indivi­duals
who simply did not have
enough time to devote themselves
fully to the job." He said that in his
position as director he will have
access to the governor's staff to aid
in research.
In announcing Johnson's ap­pointment,
James said the re­search
director will play a vital
role in state government.
Johnson said he had only signed
a six-month contract with the
governor's office. "I think the
functions of the policy research
office and the office itself will
continue, but I don't expect to
continue in my position as director
after the contract is up," Johnson
said. He said he planned to return
to his position with the School of
Arts and Sciences.
Johnson holds a degree in politi­cal
science and economics from
Marshall University and holds
masters and doctorate degrees in
political science from the Univer­sity
of Tennessee.

should not base it's planning on
what it expects the Alabama legis­lature
to do while they are in
session."
Mike Shannon, a spokesman for
the Glendean shopping area, told
the council that four major ques­tions
should be addressed.
"Revenue may or may not be­come
an issue depending on the two
percent sales tax but its obvious
advantages to the city should not
be ignored," Shannon said.
"Convenience must be looked at
because of the accesability of a
Glendean package store for the
people of Auburn," he added.
Shannon also discussed the
safety and energy aspects of the
re-zoning pointing out the
dangerous entry and exit at the
current Opelika store and the gas
mileage wasted by Auburn resi­dents
in driving to another city to
do business.
The floor then opened for Dr.
Yarborough, the original developer
of Glendean Shopping Center, to
give his views on the re-zoning
recommendation.
Yarborough said that 17 years
ago, following long hours of discus­sion
with city officials, he was told
that his location would be approved
for a B-5 zoning.
This type of zoning would allow a
state liquor store to locate in the
area. However, local officials
admited at the time to "sitting on
their ends" and failed to make the
new zoning official.
"I did not approach the state for
this liquor store, they came to me,"
Yarborough said. "The
Montgomery officials would like to
see Glendean get the liquor store
once the lease runs out in Opelika,"
he said.
Rev. Bo Childs then spoke again
in a head-on debate with Mike
Shannon.
"We should not have to live by a
mistake made 17 years ago,"
Childs said. "I am sure that state
could locate in an area which is not
so family-oriented," he added.
Mike Shannon countered Childs'
remarks saying "family-oriented
people drink too, whether you like
it or not."
Law requires the reading of an
ordinance on two separate meet­ings
of council. However, if council
votes unanimously to "waive the
rule" an ordinance can be con­sidered
for second reading im­mediately.
Auburn City Council members
failed to unanimously go ahead
with the second reading and will
make it's final consideration of the
re-zoning proposal at the next
council meeting in two weeks.

An Auburn student, Philip A.

with two counts of selling cocaine.
Hensley, a senior in aerospace
engineering, was arrested by Ed

$5,000 bail.
Detective Bart Ingram said that
Hensley's arrest was a part of the
same drug investigation which

on Oct. 15.
Hensley allegedly sold cocaine to
undercover narcotics agents on
Oct. 3 and Oct. 9.
The arrest is the "tail end of the

same weight diamond. First you need a trained jeweler, second you need a jeweler willing to
give you as much time as you will give him, so that you do properly understand how different
diamonds can be. We think we can qualify on both counts. We are trained...trained to
accurately grade every diamond...and it Is our absolute policy to never have a customer that
will ever feel rushed in any way.
What about Ware's prices. Whenever we sell a diamond we give a certificate of
registration...giving each customer a guarantee as to color, perfection, cut and weight.
Totalling all certificates for 1979 we found we had sold customers from 119 cities, in 21 states
a diamond in this one year. There were 37 from Birmingham, 41 from Montgomery, 33 from
Atlanta and 16 from Huntsville.. .do you think they would have purchased their diamond from
Ware's if they could have done better elsewhere?
What about the ring itself? Because the diamond represents the largest part of the total
Investment...we think the selection of the diamond is most important. Once you have
selected a Ware's diamond (from over 400 in all sizes and grades)...then the mounting
selection is the most important. Why not select a diamond from a jeweler that can offer you
all the leading designs of mountings. ..not just the basic few standard styles. Ware represents
the nation's leading style lines...Orange Blossom, Art Carved, Daina, Jabel, Advance. Ware
offers a jewelry manufacturing department in both stores that is unequaled in
Alabama...designers, diamond setters, jewelry manufacturers, hand engravers...all are on
Ware's staff. The entire "tailor made ring" can be done for you In either store...Uptown
Auburn or Village Mall...exactly as you "design" your own ring.
This Is your invitation to talk to .the trained experts at Ware's It may be the best time
Investment you ever make.

Presidential input
"Will students and faculty really have
much of a say in selecting Auburn Univer­sity's
next president?"
That was the question we asked last
October at the onset of the Auburn
presidential selection process.
At that time, all students and faculty could
count on was the word of the Board of
Trustees Search Committee that they would
be involved. It's word was good.
Both SGA President Ron Taylor and Chris
Simms, SGA President at AUM, have been
able to review all of the resumes sent to the
committee.
That was a right for which Taylor has been
fighting for months, and it was an important
advance in Board-student relations for him to
get it.
In addition, the faculty advisory commit­tee
has also pledged that when the finalists
for the job come to Auburn, both the faculty
and student advisory committees will be able
to interview and made comments about the
candidates.
We compliment both the members of the
search committee and those among the
students and faculty who have made it
possible for all major groups at Auburn to
have input in selecting the person who will
lead us in this new decade.
We hope this is a sign of better cooperation
to come between the Board of Trustees and
the students and faculty of this university.
Fire and brimstone
rle doesn't wear a camel-hair coat and eat
locusts, but George 'Jed' Smock shouts his
warnings of the "fires of hell" with the fervor
of a John the Baptist.
Just as prophets of old constantly threat­ened
Israel to repent or perish by sword or
fire, so Smock has annually warned Auburn
students by Haley Center to accept his
religious beliefs or burn in hell.
Smock has embraced a religion founded,
in part, on fear.
Other "messengers," however, have
preached a religion of hope from the same
Bible Smock draws his pictures of fire and
brimstone from.
The prophets that threatened Israel with
doom also implored their people, "Don't
bear a grudge, but love your neighbor as
yourself.
Another asked, "What does the Lord
require of you, but to do justly, love mercy
and walk humbly with your God?"
Smock has dredged his Bible for his fearful
message. What commandment could be
greater, however, than that to "Love God,
and love your neighbor as yourself?"
The hope shining from that message burns
brighter than any brimstone ever could.
More pay for faculty r?
Last Dec. 11, the faculty and admin­istration
received an unexpected Christmas
gift—raises ranging from $420 to $900 per
year.
The raises, paid for by earlier student
tuition hikes, are not as generous as they first
appear, though.
The lowest paid of these employees, those
receiving about $13,000 per year, would
receive a $420 raise. This amounts to a salary
increase of about 3-2 percent. Higher salaried
employees would receive higher raises in
terms of dollars, but the percentage increases
will actually be lower.
With an inflation rate that approached 14
percent a year, Auburn faculty and admin­istrators
lost quite a bit of ground, rather
than winning any.
Further raises are both necessary and
appropriate for these employees.
Sen. Robert Harris, the member of the
board of trustees who introduced the
proposal for the raises, gave encouragement
that a further hike may be forthcoming.
He said Gov. Fob James has told him that
if the tax revenues for the State Educational
Trust Fund rise as expected, another hike
could be forthcoming.
An appropriation for the raise would have
to come from the State Legislature, though,
not the governor.
We hope the legislature is sensitive enough
to the needs of faculty and administration
here to provide such an appropriation.
The board of trustees has done what it
could. Now the ball is in the Legislature's
corner.

'Forces of the Grinch' gained in 79
Each Christmas season in the United States
seems to be a battle between the good will of
men toward one another and the forces of the
grinch.
Fortunately for us all, goodwill usually
prevails. But in 1979, as one decade ended and
another began, the grinches made a tougher
fight of it than usual.
' Item.: In Chicago, transit workers went on
strike about a week before Christmas. The
results were horrendous traffic snarls for
commuters forced to take to their cars.
Why were the workers on strike? According
to interviews on television, one man, a bus
driver, wasn't satisfied with his wages of
$36,000—yes, $36,000 a year.
And that while Chicago follows in the
bankrupt footsteps of Cleveland and New
York.
Item: In Denver, those fearless warriors of
the American Civil Liberties Union went to
court to get a nativity scene removed from the
steps of the City Hall.
And they succeeded. A judge ruled that the
mayor must have the scene, which was a
60-year-old tradition, removed.
The ACLU, it can be imagined, was ecstatic.
After all, it had just prevented the merger of
church and state in Denver. In the process, it
had made us all a little freer, right? You figure
it out.
Item: While congress agonized to produce a
loan program for Chrysler before Christmas,
there was considerable grumbling among some
company workers (though certainly not all)
who didn't understand why they might have to
forego a raise from the current $7.80 per hour
to more than $9.00 per hour over the next two
years.
And union boss Douglas Fraser said they'd
rather lose the jobs—and presumably collect
unemployment—than do without the raise.
In contrast, a Dayton, Ohio, man who
doesn't even HAVE a job spent his own money
constructing a nature walk that tells the story
Scott
Thurston
of Christmas. The man is not wealthy, but still
charged no admission for the hundreds of kids
who came to see it.
All this is not to say that no one's gripes are
legitimate anymore. We all know of plenty of
people who deserve more than life has offered
them. But events like these seem a fitting end
for the '70s.
It was a decade that saw soaring expecta­tions
coupled with soaring inflation and a new
anxiety about the future.
That combination, at least in the latter part
of the decade, produced a certain grinchiness
in Americans—a feeling that, by God, the
seventies were supposed to be a decade of
plenty for all and somebody had better damn
well deliver.
Never mind productivity, never mind that it
takes 600 dollars bills to buy an ounce of gold,
just keep that standard of riving on the rise.
And it was supposed to be such a good
decade. Hadn't .minority rights been insured
by the Civil Rights Act of 1965? Weren't we
now going to treat everyone as an individual,
one on one?
It sounded good, and it was. But the '70s saw
the act so perversely enacted that the
Department of Health Education and Welfare
now spends millions collecting detailed infor­mation
on the race, religion and sex of the
nation's work force.
Even while this is written, the National
Organization of Women, one of the '70s
expanding special interest groups, attempts to
have a judge barred from a case involving the
Equal Rights amendment simply because he is
a member of the Mormon Church, which
opposes ERA.
How's that for merging church and state?
Never mind the constitutional guarantee
that "no religious test shall ever be required as
a qualification to any office or public trust
under the United States." No, this is in the
name of equality and fair play.
By the time every group is finished
asserting its rights could it be there will be
none left to assert?
But there are signs of hope. As we move into
the '80s there is a growing awareness
throughout the country that many of our
problems now have been caused by good
intentions in the past.
And there is a growing awareness that more
government does not insure greater individual
liberty and freedom from want.
In short, there is a feeling that while it is a
good idea to demand that government provide
a free meal to those who need it, it doesn't do
anyone much good if the result is that five
years later the meal costs twice as much for
everyone.
Our greatest challenges during the '80s may
come from beyond our borders. But we cannot
forget matters within them, either.
We cannot forget about the poor, but neither
can we allow the destruction of the middle
class by inflation. And a balance must be found
between the interests of diverse groups and
those of the nation.
Fair solutions probably lie more in the basic
attitudes of people than in any government
program and in a realization that solutions
based on short term needs are often tragically
shortsighted.

Conservatives taking over campus ?r
I was awakened late Monday night by a
flurry of footsteps outside my apartment.
Upon opening the door I saw a dozen men in
combat fatigues scurrying around the parking
lot.
Too late, they've seen me!
I slammed the door, but before I could lock
it, they forced it open. They pulled me out of
my room and threw me against a wall. A
flashlight shined in my eyes as Jack Webb
spoke.
"Are you now, or have you ever been, a
member of any organization which supports
the violent overthrow of the SGA?"
"What's going on here?" I asked incredulous­ly.
"Shut up and answer the question," Jack
replied.
A voice from the back of the group was
heard. "I think he's a pinko, let's clobber him!"
Tm not a pinko, "honest; I've never even
been there," I retorted.
"Who do you want for president?" asked
Jack.
"Er, Kennedy I guess."
"Kill him!" shouted the mob as they charged
for me.
"RONALD REAGAN! I want Ronald
Reagan! I thought you said 'Who didn't you
want for president!" I pleaded.
"Back off guys," said Jack. "I think we can
work him into our plans."
I later found out that this was "The Auburn
Committee for American Activities' on night
maneuvers. They had stepped up their
exercises ever since Philpott resigned.
"You see," Jack explained, "the presidency
of Auburn is vacant, and until that vacancy is
filled, anarchy could break out at any time."
"That's right;' I said, keeping a straight
face. "Look at the takeover in Iran. Why "Rat"
Riley could conceivably ride to power on a
wave of religious hysteria."
They just stared at me.
"Auburn right now is extremely vulnerable
to subversives," one said. "You're not a
subversive, are you? "
"Nope, I've never been there either," I
responded with growing confidence.
Tim
Dcarsey
"Good," said Jack. "Anyway, our counter-faction
here has to force the quick selection of a
new president and keep Auburn safe in the
interim.
"But we don't want a liberal president!
You're not a liberal, are you?"
"Well, I have to admit that I visited there
once, but the food was lousy. By the way, you
said 'counter-faction.' Who's the faction?" I
asked.
"There is no 'faction,' " Jack answered.
"Everyone's a counter-faction. It makes us
sound like we do more. Here, take this."
"That's a gun!"
"Guns, guts and God made America free,"
the group responded in unison.
"Do you think maybe i could carry one of the
other two things instead?"
Jack didn't hear me. He was busy unfolding
a map.
"Do you mind if I go inside and get a jacket?"
I asked.
"Go ahead, but don't be long. We've got alot
to go over before we move out."
I walked into my room and turned on the
light. Standing in front of me were eight
Iranian students.
"Do you live here?" asked their leader.
"Yes! Now what are you doing here?"
"We want to take you hostage,' he said.
"Yeah, you and everyone and his uncle. Am I
on some sort of bad mailing list or something?"
"This is the American consulate. Isn't it?" he
asked.
"No it isn't" I exclaimed.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. There are no American
consulates in America, and get out of the
refrigerator!"
"What are we going to do?" said the leader.
"We've been planning this for months and
besides, we've already put down a deposit on
the hall for the reception."
"Try the Foy Union information desk. They
may be able to help," I suggested.
They thanked me and left. I got my coat and
returned to Jack and his gang.
"Who were those eight guys we just saw
leaving your apartment?" asked Jack.
"Repairmen," I answered. They bought it.
"O.K. everyone, listen up. This is the city -
Auburn," said Jack holding up his map. "Take
a good look at this. It may save your life."
"What are all those red X's on the map?" I
asked.
"Those are the residences of all the people
whom we feel are a threat to Auburn,"
answered Jack.
"And what are all those green X's?"
"Bathrooms."
. Jack turned to his men, "Move out!"
"Wait a minute," I shouted, "this isn't South
America!"
The voice from the back of the crowd
responded, "Jack, that's it. He's got to be a
communist. Ill bet he even parks his bicycle on
the sidewalk." Then a man, who can best be
described as the 'missing link,' came after me.
"Don't hurt him, just bring him along," said
Jack.
My furry friend with the eyebrow ridges
grabbed me by the back of my collar and began
dragging me across the parking lot. Off I went,
heels scraping on the pavement.
Dear Mom,
I've been living in the mountainous
jungles surrounding Auburn for a few
days now with a guerilla outfit. Our
leader Jack says it should only be a
matter of weeks before a new presi­dent
is chosen. Please send money; my
99-mealt icket is almost out of punches.

Fire keeps problems in perspective
The first campfire of the 1980 s.
So it was officially dubbed—everyone
agreed they had not been around another fire
during the first five days of the new decade.
The .christening took place and the campfire
was blessed with whatever was there at the
site—peanut M&M's, tortilla chips and many
well wishes.
Good cheer and optimism ran high that
night.
After all, the moon was literally rising over
us, casting ever more white light through the
crisp, clear winter night, adding its assuring
glow to the stars' illumination of the fields and
pines around us.
With warm flames crackling high in the
center of a circle of good company, all
Peggy
Sanford
conversation was either good memories, idle
chatter or complete fabrication.
From our sanctuary, we could hear no
newscasts, nor did we have a newspaper to
remind us of all that was going on
No reports intruded of 50 people held
hostage, spending the holiday season in their
hostile setting, their families held captive to
the tension, fear and anger of the crisis..
How many of those hostages and their loved
ones look into the new decade and see
promise?
Nations look on and measures are sought to
resolve this drama, which so many wish was
unreal, but which continues on. Waking up
doesn't stop this nightmare.
From the drama in Iran, one need only look
east to Afghanistan to a view which causes
America to reel farther back and shake her
head in disbelief.
Russia flexes her muscle, marches into
Afghanistan, and the world has more to
ponder, possibly to dread.
Within our nation's boundaries, we worry
about inflation, sources of energy, racial
prejudice and so much more.
Leaving man's world for awhile and relaxing
in nature's solitude offered an enjoyable
escape, but somehow man's domain proved
almost scarier upon return.
But not to step back in and face man's world
would be worse.
Looking back to the first campfire of the
1980 s, I see the moon starting at ground level
and slowly climbing higher, rising high
overhead, the good omen for the new decade I
believed it to be that night.
Though wondering what one can possibly do
to help solve the mass of problems facing us, I
know they must and will be resolved.
We must have hope to be without it is indeed
a scary thought.
A boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in
Moscow by the United States would be the
most serious blow the Americans could land on
the Soviets, for it would hit them in their two
most vulnerable areas: their pocket book and
their pride.
The cost of staging the Olympic Games,
especially to a city which has had to build
virtually all of the facilities from scratch, is
staggering, and the Soviets could ill afford to
miss out on the tremendous amount of income
that would be generated by American
athletes, guests and press.
The lack of an American presence would
hurt the prestige of the games, and it would be
very likely that some of our allies would follow
suit and drop out (such measures have already
been discussed in the legislatures of Britain
and West Germany.)
The Soviets could very well find itself
competing against only those countries aligned
with itself, which would cause them to suffer
tremendously at the gate.
Possibly more important, though, would be
the blow to Soviet pride if a scaled-down
Olympics was staged.
The Soviets are counting on the games as a
propaganda weapon which would show
foreigners the high standard of living and
efficiency of the Soviet system. Their intent
was to show a beautiful city with happy people
who support their government.
The Soviets, then, are not stupid enough to
let their poor side face the camera of the rest of
the world. Indications are that dissidents are
being rounded up and shipped out of Moscow,
and the Soviets already have planned to move
all school-aged children from the city during
the games, so they cannot be influenced by the
"evil" ideas of foreigners.
The Soviets also would like the world to
believe it is making great strides to eradicate
anti-Zionism. They have even recently eased
some restrictions making it possible for more
Jews to emmigrate to Israel.
When Adolph Hitler promised to place Jews
on German's Olympic team for the 1936 games
in Berlin, the rest of the world then too
dropped its threat to withdraw from the
games.
History teaches us not to make the same
mistake twice.
The Soviets have not changed their policy of
agression, supression of free speech and
anti-Zionism. We cannot afford to let the world
be fooled into thinking otherwise by a Soviet
propoganda ploy.
Many Americans will cry against the call for
a boycott. They perceive the Olympics as the
last event left which should be held free of
political maneuvering.
The Soviets have already politically
maneuvered 50,000 troops into Afghanistan
and massacred hundreds of rebel soldiers. The
participation of any nation in the Moscow
games would be turning a deaf ear to the cries
of the Afghan people.
Others will cry that athletes have been
preparing for years, even from early child­hood,
for this one moment of potential glory,
and that we cannot take that opportunity away
from them.
Former decathalon winner Bruce Jenner has
said, "Competing in the Olympic Games is a
dream for so many young people. Politics
should not be involved."
Jenner and his supporters have a very good
argument; someone will have to sacrifice for
the good of the entire country.
Farmers will have to do such during the
grain embargo on the Soviets, and now such a
responsibility will fall upon the athletes.
It is not a happy thing to call for the boycott
of the Olympics. If the United States boycotts
this year's events, it may very well mean the
end of the games, which have brought so much
pleasure to millions.
It is even doubtful whether a boycott of the
games would have any effect on the Soviets.
But the time has come to open the world's
eyes to what the Soviet Union truly stands for,
and that cannot by done by participating in the
1980 Propaganda Games in Moscow.

UPC advertising for concerts
defended by entertainment head
Editor, The Plainsman; .- .> _;.;. ".~. -
I would like to respond to Elise Rawson's
letter to the editor concerning UPC concert
advertising policies which appeared in the
Nov. 29 Plainsman.
First, in reference to the Atlanta Rhythm
Section/Pat Travers concert, Ms. Rawson
incorrectly stated that the UPC had been
advertising for a concert which had not been
under contract.
This is totally erroneous. The contract,
which had been signed by the promoter, was
enroute to our business office.
Because of postal delay the contract had not
been re-received by the opening ticket sales
date. It is an Auburn University policy that
tickets may not be sold for any entertainment
event until a completed and signed copy of the
contract has been received.
Therefore, ticket sales were delayed until
the contract reached our business office, but
there was never any doubt that the contract
would be honored.
Second, the UPC never advertised an Earth
Wind and Fire concert and repeatedly stated
that there would be no concert. (An article in
the Oct. 11 Plainsman reaffirmed this.);
The promoter, Ruffino-Vaughn Productions,
Ltd., would have had total control over any
advertising for a possible Earth Wind and Fire
concert. Negotiations for this act had reached
the stage where Ruffino-Vaughn felt confident
enough to contact radio stations.
One of these radio stations, WHHY, acted
before the release date and announced that
there would be a concert on their concert
calendar, a free public service announcement.
Finally, I have never heard of any event
(entertainment or otherwise) being advertised
as still under negotiation.
The UPC and certainly the Major Entertain­ment
Committee are always eager to have
interested and knowledgeable students as
committee members. Perhaps Ms. Rawson
would like to join the UPC and become
involved and learn more about our activities
and policies.

Disillusionment grows every day.
We have leaders who change their assess­ments
of foreign governments on an hourly
basis, an increasingly vulnerable military, and
an economy that no one seems to comprehend,
let alone know how to repair.
In the "crescent of crisis" of the Middle East,
there is more than enough cause for alarm. Our
people are held hostages by some Marxist
psuedo-students, while the Russians have
invaded and threaten the entire Persian
gulf-the jugular of the Western world.
What has been our response?
We've cut off shipments of grain to the
U.S.S.R.-They can-easily get it elsewhere. We
may not play in the.OJjyrapics. And it's possible
that trade sanctions" against Iran are in the
works.
None of these reactions has seriously hurt
the Soviets, or the Iranian people.
Our military has shifted from a strong first
to a weak second behind the Soviets, while the
Russians now use their favorite method of
subduing a hostile populous-military action.
The U.S. has nothing to counter such actions
with, our naval strength is proportionate to
theirs. Then, do we really want to go to war to
help save a bunch of religious fanatics, who
would simply turn on us as soon as the Soviets
left?
Around the world, America is looked upon
with scorn. Our property and territories and
people are stolen, nationalized and held
hostage. Yet the Soviets can invade without as
much protest from the same people.
Why is this so? The U.S. is looked upon as
weak and decadent. It is much safer to protest
against us, because we're so far away.
It isn't too wise to say bad things about the
Soviets, because they are so close by and are
Buddy
Davis
not skittish when it come to using force of
arms.
In the economic sector, the government's
economic policy, or lack of one, continues to
screw up the stability of the economy.
The government often hampers industries,
and billions are spent each year just keeping
up with the endless red tape that's spewed
from the bureaucracy like water from a dam.
And the floodgates keep rising.
I blame one man for the sorry state of affairs
in the world today: Jimmy Carter.
He's had plenty of help, including Henry
Kisssinger, who convinced the President to
allow the Shah to enter the country, a congress
full of "representatives" who represent their
own special interests, and the faceless plague
of bureaucracy that was supposed to have been
shrunk, but who believes campaign promises
anymore?
It's easy to blame Jimmy Carter, especially
with the wonderful use one can make of
hindsight, but anyone should have known
better than to have let the Shah enter this
country. Especially after what he did to his
countrymen, which in the face of Carter's
stand on human rights looks even more
ludicrous. And Jimmy Carter was certainly
aware that atrocities were ocuring.
Then, how could anyone be stupid enough to
cancel the B-l bomber and neutron bomb
deployment without even trading for any
concessions from the Russians? Our defense
posture is in incredibly poor shape, which the
Russians not only know but are already
capitalizing'on.
The economy just goes from bad to worse.
The dollar soon will cost more to print than it is
worth. If you are young, black or a woman,
your future is not at all bright.
Our country is, indeed, what the Japanese
discovered long ago. A giant, fumbling blindly
about, until it is awakened.
Hopefully, a new president, and not new
foreign and domestic catastrophes, will quickly
arouse a sleeping nation before it's too late.
Proposed pharmacy wouldn't lower drug prices
Editor, The Plainsman:
I have noticed over the years several
comments pertaining to the economic advan­tages
of a proposed out-patient pharmacy for
the Drake Student Health Center.
I wish to comment on the validity of such
claims.
The expectation that the price of a
prescription would be considerably lower is
highly improbable. The average profit on a
prescription is about 3.5 percent, and the
average prescription price is about $6.50.
So if absolutely no profit at all is made, that
is if profit is reduced to zero which is the
minimum, a 23 cent reduction in the price of an
average prescription would result.
It is indeed possible for students to pay a
price considerably less than the average price
charged by "for-profit" pharmacies.
This price reduction can easily be realized if
such niceties as rent, electricity and other
power expenses, salaries, air conditioning, and
other expenses which accompany the opera­tion
of any pharmacy are not included in the
price of a prescription.
Please note, however, that the accomplish­ments
of non-profit organizations in terms of
efficiency are at best dismal.
I predict that a non-profit pharmacy would
operate in such a way that if full costs were
covered, the average price would not be lower
but would be considerably higher than would
be the case in a "for-profit" pharmacy.
The record is rather lopsided in favor of an
association between for-profit and low price
and not-for-profit and high price, respectively.
While I do not necessarily oppose students
lobbying for "a srenerically free lunch," I do
disagree with their failure to acknowledge that
they are getting a handout if they accept a
prescription that does not cover its full cost.
It is important for each graduate of Auburn
University to understand that there is no
collective "free lunch." Someone must pay.
The two-thirds cost of operation of Auburn
University which is not paid for by student
fees must come from some place. Drake
Infirmary is no exception.
The major source for getting money is the
pockets of taxpayers and specifically the
paychecks of taxpayers. So if an Auburn
student realizes more than a 23 cent average
reduction in the price of a prescription, it will
most likely be because someone else is paying
more.
I might also point out that if one delves into
the matter in more detail, one will discover
that someone must furnish investment capital.
The profit allowed in a free enterprise
society supplies the fuel for business expansion
and growth.
I should further point out that there are
many excellent reasons for an out-patient
pharmacy on the Auburn University campus.
There are many services that could be
provided which would improve health care
quality supplied to students.
For example, students are suffering need­less
adverse drug reactions due to the lack of a
full service pharmacy.
My intention is not to argue against the
establishment of a full service out-patient
pharmacy for the Drake Student Health
Center but is to armie that the basis should not
be one of reduced price.
If one wants to get more, it is likely that one
will have to pay more. I am merely restating
an economic truism of life.

University shouldn't dispense birth control devices
Crossing street endangers student lives
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am an off-campus freshman at Auburn this
fall, which means that after my car is parked in
the morning, it does not move again until I
finish my classes in the afternoon.
This, however, presents one small problem:
I end up risking my life every time I cross the
street.
Evidently, the people who drive across
campus, or are leaving after their classes, do
not feel that pedestrians should have the right
of way.
I wish that, if they feel this way, they would
please take legislative action instead of trying
to take my life.
If, while driving on campus, everyone would
take into consideration how they feel when
they are walking to class and someone tries to
run them down, then I know that this problem
could easily be resolved. - ' . . _ _
Boo Wells, IADS
Editor, The Plainsman:
While looking through Fall's "Circle," I came
across an article on campus birth control called
"Good Girls Don't".
I remembered seeing a birth control probe in
the Plainsman last quarter, so I feel safe to
assume the journalistic community would like
to see the University supplying contraceptives
to alleviate student need for these demands.
I don't believe this is the answer to the
problem.
Counseling and courses in family planning
and birth control sound like a nice way to
inform students about the consequences of
their actions.
But obviously this has not solved the
problem of pregnancies that occur on campus
year after year. We must determine what
should be the best way to deal with this
problem.
Birth control devices would seem the
obvious answer. But why should it be the
responsibility of the University to distribute
contraceptives? Is Auburn responsible for the
lifestyle a student chooses to pursue?
If a man and a woman feel they are
responsible enough to engage in sex, shouldn't
they be responsible for the outcome of their
actions?
By making available contraceptives to the
student body, the University would take away
any responsibility a couple might have for
their actions.
On the other hand, if contraceptives are
neither accessible nor inexpensive, one might
weigh the consequences more heavily before
entering a sexual encounter.
As a Christian I feel there is a right time and
place for sex. Within the realm of marriage,
God created sex to be a beautiful and
meaningful part of a married couple's life.
Family planning and contraceptives are
useful tools to plan for a family, but I don't feel
sex is just meant to be for reproduction of the
species. When two partners are committed for
life to meet the needs of one another, then sex
becomes a beautiful expression of love to each
other.
f ....
By making available contraceptives out of
the realm of marriage, promiscuity is encour­aged
and moral responsibility for one's actions
all but disappear.
Premarital pregnancies will continue to rise
as more and more couples engage in sex
without counting the moral costs of their
actions.
Relationships are moving more towards
physical gratification and no commitment in
today's society so logically the pill is the
easiest solution to the dilemma of problem
• pregnancies.
Should Auburn University or the students
themselves take account for the lifestyles they
pursue?
If students wish to obtain contraceptives,
there isn't really anything to stop them from
doing so, but theUniversity should not have to
account for the moral decisions of the student
body.
The head of the Louisiana State University
birth control clinic says its clinic doesn't
"promote sexual promiscuity. We go on the
assumption that if a young lady comes in
asking for birth control, there is a need for it."
Closing your eyes to the situation is one
thing. University approval of abandoning
morals is another.

ERA dooms 'traditional family'
Women deserve dignity
Editor, The Plainsman:
Let's stop clouding issues by using the Bible
or ERA, etc. Many women work because they
have to! (I'm sure there's someone who's got
statistics on that.)
They adjust to it, get used to it, but, they
have to do it.
Many women want to stay at home so that
they can really make a home. Other women
want to work, or must work.
Let's remember first, what a marriage
contract is. Not what people make it out to be,
but, what it didn't only imply but what it in
fact was.
Women who want to stay at home and be
good homemakers and mothers should be able
to, with dignity and comfort, stay at home!
Women who want to work, or need to work,
should with dignity and comfort go to work!
But, the law, itself, shouldn't force all
women to work by abolishing all reasonable
support rights for wives and children simply
because many other women work, and want
more money.
The law should protect all, in whatever
circumstance they are in. It seems only
ignorant, or uneducated ', or totally devastated
women have the privilege of staying at home
with their children.
The more educated, more intelligent woman
is told to go to work by the law to support
herself and the marriage contract's children!
Perhaps that's why we're getting more and
more deadbeats in our society. The only
children who have the privilege of parental
upbringing seem to be the ones who don't have
parents that can bring them up.
Simply because more women work does not
mean women who stay at home do not need
their rights, nor does it mean they are working
because they want to and don't want their
"home" rights anymore. It is unfair to even
imply that's what it means.
Give all women, in their circumstances, the
proper consideration and rights. Stop asking
us questions, consolidating our answers, and
then tell others what you think we mean.
The woman who stays at home and takes
care of her family and home should have just as
many rights and enforceable privileges as the
woman who works, regardless of whether the
marriage continues or not.
Stop replacing one for the other—that's
telling us we have no right to be a wife and
mother who stays home because more women
are out working!
We're out working because the law doesn't
support our right to stay home!
Then we go to work, and we're not given the
same consideration as men, we're told—re­gardless
of our responsibilities or lack of them.
It seems there's a lot of double-talk and
deliberate misunderstanding so that we just
can't have any rights, anywhere—at home or
at work!
That means a system of hopeless slavery,
regardless of where women are, has been
deviously devised by the ones who would
benefit the most in not having to renumerate
women's rights—either at home or at work.
In the Bible, people are to be respected,
their work compensated. Wives who stay at
home are not excluded. Neither is the one who
needs to work for a wage.
Rebecca S. Simon (Mrs.)
AdministrativeSecretary
Arts and Sciences office
Editor, The Plainsman:
Having two sons who are graduates of
Auburn and a third son who is a junior there
now, I feel very close to and interested in
Auburn. I am writing in response to a letter,
supportive of the ERA, which appeared Nov.
15.
It is very evident that Mrs. Brenda F.
Waynick needs to do some research on the
ERA. There may be many who are not familiar
with the three sections of the amendment
which are:
"Equality of rights under the law shall not
be denied or abridged by the United States or
by any state on account of sex.'
"Congress shall have the power to enforce
by appropriate legislation, the provisions of
this article.'
"This amendment shall take effect two years
after the date of ratification."
It contains only 51 words, but is the most
destructive piece of legislation ever sent to the
states for ratification. Now let's take a look at
the three sections.
Section I has three tricky words, "under the
law," which would impose on the federal and
state governments the obligation to rewrite all
the laws wherein men and women are not
treated in identical manner. „ .
State legislatures would have to amend or
rewrite 100 to 300 laws, where the words
"man," "woman," "male," "female," "husband "
or "wife" appear, deleting those words and
using sex neutral terms as person or indivi?
dual, which would make us a unisex society.
The only difference between men and
women would be the child-bearing function.
Section II strips the states of all power to
enforce the amendment. When it was first
written it read, "Congress and the states...,
but it was rewritten deleting' the.states"which
leaves all power of enforcement to the federal
government.
This is an outright attack on our whole
concept of a sovereign nation of sovereign
states as constitutionally expressed in the 10th
amendment.
State legislators who vote for a constitution­al
amendment with a clause like Section II of
the ERA are absolutely betraying the people
who trusted them to uphold the right to local
government.
Section III gives two years to take effect if
ratified, but I have been told that some
constitutional authorities think it will take at
least six years to amend or rewrite all the laws
using sex neutral terms which would make us a
unisex society.
tional
Reader okays ERA, but says women aren't equal
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading some of the opinions in your
newspaper, I noticed that some have not
learned of some Biblical facts and their
application to today.
The Bible does not teach that male and
female are equal: "Then the Lord God said, 'It
is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him a helper fit for him.'" (Gen. 2:19).
A helper is not an equal. A helper may add
input, but does not have the final say.
Even though the Bible states that man and
woman are not equal, it does teach that they
should treat each other as equals.
Putting this in current perspective, a man
and a woman both have say in an issue or
choice, but the man has been given the
authority of the final decision (and also the
responsibility).
As it has been said, "Woman was not taken
from man's head to be above him or from his
feet to be below him, she was created from his
rib to be close to his heart". Also see I Tim.
2:11-12.
When Jesus Christ came to earth, He made
man and woman equal in their choice of
salvation. He also raised the status of women.
Women were treated as slaves or as
merchandise in that time period; Jesus
elevated them to positions of respect. But
while he was on earth, he did uphold the final
authority of man.
Throughout the Bible women were given
power and authority. Examples are Deborah,
Miriam and Anna.
In recent years women have taken places of
the same honor. Examples are Golda Meir,
Margaret Thatcher, Juanita McDaniel and
Betty Frink.
Cardboard flavors cafeteria spinach
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing you concerning the quality of
food at campus cafeterias. The fact that I live
in Magnolia Dorm makes it more convenient
for me to eat at Magnolia cafeteria.
On occasion, I will find the food pleasant, but
only when the cafeteria is not serving what
they served the day before. Eating the same
food day after day would not be so bad if the
food did not get progressively worse.
I am writing, however, about what is in
the food.
*~ iy*.
Finding a worm in one's food is not
surprising, since cafeterias could use anything
to make the food go further, and after all,
worms are a good source of protein.
What I found in my food, however, is hardly
digestible; in fact, I think anyone would have a
hard time digesting the one by three inch piece
of cardboard I recently found in my spinach.
Hopefully, someone who does not like eating
cardboard will read this letter and take action
against such occurrences.
John Grady, 1PN
God does give woman positions of power and
authority, but only for the reason that men will
not uphold the things that God has ordained
for them.
As seen in the history of the world, woman
are given positions of authority only if the
culture is in a state of moral deprivation. I am
not saying that this is a cause, but only a
by-product.
Everything that is to have a strong head
must have a good base. When the family unit,
the first level of all cultures, is corrupted (the
foundation is Jesus Christ), the whole struc­ture
begins its path to destruction. The family
unit breaks up when the natural order of
authority that God set up is broken.
This can be done by a woman who does not
submit herself and by a man who does not take
the authority he should.
This does not mean women should not get
jobs and earn a wage. This means that the
family (this unit does not have to and many
times does not include a husband) should be a
priority over a career or a job.
I understand with the economy the way it is,
the need for a decent income. A woman should
earn the money she deserves. If two people do
the same job, they should be paid the same
amount of money.
For this reason I support ERA. Equal pay
for equal work done-Yes; male and female
being totally equal-No.
Greg M. McGinnis
Yes, if the ERA is ratified, the tradition
American family will cease to be.
Women will be responsible for 50 percent of
the living, in some cases women would be
paying- alimony, and children would be (some
are now) cared for in federally controlled day
care centers—federal control from the cradle
to the grave.
Single sex organizations would cease to be.
The ERA would give homosexuals and lesbians
equal rights to get marriage licenses •
I have seen some ot the books on lesbianism
that ERA proponents want taught in the
public schools; in fact they were on display at
the International Women's Year (IWY) Con­ference
in Houston, Texas, in 1C77.
Once opposed to linking lesbian rights with .
the ERA, the IWY Conference agreed to
change (People Magazine, 12-5-77, p. 112.) I
There is not space in this letter to list all the
abominable changes that ratification of the
ERA would bring about which would make us
a "straight-out" socialist country.
All of our inequities have been taken care of
by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal
Employment Act of 1972. As a result of this
act, some women have been given* work that
they are physically unable to do.
It is true, also, that because of this act, some
women have gone into coal mines, some have
joined the Air Force and other fields of
employment that have been traditionally held
by men. , , .... \
If some women can and want to do this type
thing, even go into combat, that is their
prerogative, but don't make a law forcing
those women into-this who don't want life in
this way.
I really don't think the women libbers and
ERA proponents know what they are asking
for. We are liberated! We are well off and
many women don't realize it.
It seems to me that the greatest service
American women can render their country is
to put the priorities where they belong and
build stable families which are the backbone of
any nation.
I guess I'm one of the ignorant Mrs. Waynick
talks about in her letter, but this is one time I
don't mind being called ignorant.
I love the traditional American family with
dad the bread winner and mother and children
being provided for and protected by the head
of the family.
Biblically, this is the right way. I'm aware of
cases where the responsibility of bread winner
has fallen to the mother because of death or
physical incapacitation.
In that case, certainly a mother needs to be
qualified to make the living and all barriers
have been removed to give women equal
educational opportunities, equal pay, etc., as
stated earlier in this letter.
• I earnestly request you to study the three
sections to this amendment, so destructive,
anti-God, anti-family and anti-American. You
could not want this for America!
My prayer is that God, through'Christian
people, will deliver us from this diabolical
ERA! Mrs. David Wyatt Jr.

Police exclude sidewalk
from bicycle ordinance
By Jimmy Sailors
Plainsman Staf fwriter
The stretch of sidewalk located
on the west side of College Street
between the intersections of
Magnolia Avenue and Thach
Avenue will no longer be subject to
the iurisdiction and enforcement of
the city of Auburn's Bicycle Ordi­nance.
Thisnon-enforcement, ordered by
Auburn Police Chief Marion B.
Harding in a memorandum issued
Nov. 29, 1979, by Captain Ted
Murphy to all uniformed officers,
does not apply to the sidewalk on
the south side of Magnolia Avenue
extending from Wright Street to
College Street, even though the
Magnolia sidewalk does run para­llel
with college property.
The asphalt sidewalk on College
Street belongs to the University
while the newly constructed side­walk
on Magnolia Avenue belongs
to the city, which built the sidewalk
as part of its downtown beautifica-tion
project.
The Bicycle Ordinance, which
prohibits the "riding or parking of
bicycles on sidewalks in the down­town
business area of the City of
Auburn," was adopted by the
Auburn City Council on Sept. 18,
1979 and was met with a great deal
of opposition from both students
and some downtown businesses
soon after its passage.
Since that passage there have
been several cases in which
students have been cited in viola­tion
of the ordinance by members
of the Auburn Police Department,
according to Henry Henderson,
legal advisor at Auburn Univer­sity.
Henderson says that the best
thing for a student to do if stopped
by a police officer is to cooperate.
He says that some students stopped
for an ordinance violation often
compound the problem by arguing
with the officer and are subse­quently
cited for disorderly
conduct.
According to Henderson, the
Bicycle Ordinance carries with it
a fine of not more than $100 while
the disorderly conduct violation
carries a fine of not more than $100
and a jail term of up to six months.
Harding says that his depart­ment
enforces the law but did not
write it. He says that he knows of
no instances where the enforce­ment
of the ordinance has been
improperly applied.
The city is presently experiment­ing
with different types of bike
racks in the downtown business
district to alleviate some of the
pressure on the ordinance by
making more bicycle parking
spaces available.
The downtown business district
affected by the ordinance is
bounded on the north by Tichenor
Avenue as it extends westward
across College Street, on the east
by Gay Street, on the south by
Thach Avenue and on the west by
Wright Street.
Harding maintains that the
Bicycle Ordinance and other laws
affecting bicycles are made with
the safety of the cyclist in mind. He
says that citations are issued to
benefit the cyclist, to make him
think about his responsibility and
possibly to save his life.

RC&AINS CONSCIOUSNESS... i
By Carolyn Lassen
Plainsman Staffwrlter
In an apparent prank call, a
woman falsely identifying herself
as a psychological researcher and
University student phoned a male
student late fall quarter asking him
intimate questions about his sexual
behavior, according to Dr. Philip
Lewis, Psychology Department
head.
The male student, suspicious of
the caller, checked with the regis­trar
and discovered there was no
student by that name at the Univer­sity.
He then called Lewis, who said
no one from that department was
involved.
Lewis said students need to be
aware of research ethics in psych­ology
which "stipulate that people
who participate must be fully
informed as to the nature and
purpose of an experiment."
The Auburn psychology depart­ment
operates on the principle of
informed consensus, he said.
According to the principle, some­one
from the department would
fully identify himself, the purpose
of the experiment and receive the
consent of the participant before
proceeding.
"It is important for people to
understand that they have a right
to refuse to participate in re­search,"
Lewis said. Also, partici­pants
can discontinue an experi­ment
at any point or ask that the
data they have given not be used
once research is completed.
All research done by the psych­ology
department must be pre­viewed
by the ethics committee.
Any student who is suspicious of
such calls can verify if the re­search
is being conducted by the
University by calling Lewis at
826-4414.

Poll designer says
AP rankings reliable
By Ken Taylor
Plainsman Staffwrlter
Last week Associated Press re­porter,
Herschel Nissenson, wrote
in the Birmingham Post-Herald
that an Auburn University man
had devised a poll to hurt Alabama-referring
to the slip of the Tide
from one to two in the AP poll
collegiate football ranking.
Nissenson was half right.
Jack Simms, head of Auburn's
journalism department, created
the AP's method of polling as it
exists today, when he held the title
of Deputy General Sports Editor
for the AP in 1972.
Simms changed the previous
way of voting, 50 votes distributed
evenly throughout the country, to
the present method of a half vote
for each major collegiate team.
At the time he made the change
there were approximately 116 class
I teams, Simms said. That broke
down to 58 votes. But, he said, the
AP changes the number of electors
every year because the number of
class I teams fluctuates.
"I changed it because I was
unhappy with the way it was,"
Simms said. "Places like Montana
who didn't even have class I
football teams were getting equal
vote with, say, Texas who had
three or four. Places like the
Southeast, Big 10 and Pac-8 were
greatly disproportionately repre­sented."
The existing system of polling for
the AP calls upon a local sports
editor or broadcaster to report his
selection to a regional office, such
as Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
Mississippi and other southeastern
schools to report to an office in
Atlanta.
The regional office designates
which newspaper editor, radio
broadcaster or TV announcer will
vote. This selection is rotated
yearly, so that a different person
will be voting each year.
"It's up to the regional man to
select reliable voters," Simms
said. The regional office must be
sure that the people it selects will
not stack the voting.
In reference to Nissensons's ac­cusation,
Simms chuckled. "Re­gionalism
would strengthen the
vote for schools with good football
teams," he said, "not hurt them."

Take Down
Grapplers upset third ranked Oklahoma
By Ed Moore
Sports Editor
Heavyweight Chris Gardner de­feated
Oklahoma's Ail-American
Steve Williams 5-4 in the final
match to give the Tiger wrestling
team a 23-20 upset victory over the
number three ranked Sooners at
the Memorial Coliseum Tuesday
night.
The match was tied at 20-20 when
Gardner beat Williams. After
battling to a first period 0-0 score,
Gardner, in the down position at
the start of the second quarter,
used a reversal to score a three
point near fall and jump out to a 5-0
lead. Williams scored his four
points on three escapes and a stall
penalty on Gardner.
"This gives them some food for
inspiration," head wrestling coach
Tom Milkovich said. "But I don't
care if they win, lose or draw, I just
want them to be fighters."
That they were, coming from
behind.
Down 18-14 with three matches
left Mark Snider battled to a 3-3 tie
with Joe East in the 177 pound
division. Snider had a 3-2 lead with
one second left in the match, but

MAJOR DECISION
.Tim Welch (T) scores four points for Auburn
was called for stalling and pena­lized
one point. The match score
was now 20-16.
Joe Elinsky at 190 pounds
followed Snider and set up
Gardner's match with an impres­sive
17-7 major decision over Jeff
Steger. The major decision, a win
by eight-11 points, gave Auburn
four team points and a 20-20 tie.
Before Snider's match Jaime
Milkovich defeated Jim Hall 8-5 at
167. In the last four matches of the
night Auburn outscored Oklahoma
12-2.
Auburn jumped out to an early
lead in the meet as Tony Leonino
defeated Shelby Stone at 188,10-2.
Matt Oddo at 126 followed
Leonino with a 5-4 decision over
Clinton Burke.
At 134 Frank DeAngelis of
Oklahoma pinned Mark Ciccarello.
Tim Welch brough Auburn back
with an 18-9 decision over John
Grasinger at 142 pounds.
Mike Elinsky was then pinned by
Andre Metzger at 150 and Scott
Howard was pinned by Roger
Frizzel at 158 giving Oklahoma its
lead.
After the match Milkovich's
team carried him on their
shoulders as many of the large
crowd streamed onto the court.
The win improved Auburn's dual
meet record to 4-1.
On Monday night at the Coliseum
Auburn defeated Northern Iowa
26-15. Northern Iowa was second
nationally in division II last
year.
Auburn's next match is Jan. 11 at
San Jose State and the Tigers next
home match is Jan. 19 against
Kentucky at 2 p.m.
Smith's freshmen talent is thrilling fans
By Barry Webne
Sports Editor
Sonny Smith's cagers look
impressive this season .and
although' they only have' ~ a 6-6*
record through last weekend, the
Tigers have some, young stars who
show promise.
Taking a
Breather
Auburn's four freshmen recruits
this season, Darrell Lockhart,
Frank Poindexter, Alvin
Mumphord and Byron Henson,
have all got significant playing
time in thus far and it, looks like
Auburn basketball is on the up­swing.
The Tigers look tough.
Byron Henson, a 6-foot-3, 170 lb.
guard from Richmond, Va., has
AU cagers defeat Gators 82-62
to remain unbeaten at home
By Ed Moore
Sports Editor
After e.ght consecutive games
on the road the Auburn basketball
team returned to the Memorial
Coliseum Saturday afternoon and
defeated Florida 82-62. The win put
Auburn back over the .500 mark,
6-5 and 2-2 in the SEC. Florida
dropped to 4-7, 1-3 in the SEC.
Freshman Darrell Lockhart led
the Tigers scoring 19 points and
grabbing 16 rebounds in his finest
effort of the season.
"I thought it was a very good
effort," Head Coach Sonny Smith
said.' 'If there was a key it was that
we made them play man-to-man,
instead of a zone."
Rich Valivicius and Bubba Price
hit outside jumpers quickly to take
Florida out of a zone early in the
first half. Valivicius. and Price
scored eight points in the
first half and Lockhart scored 10 to
lead Auburn to a 42-28 lead.
"Lockhart gave us the start we
needed to get momentum with his
scoring and rebounding," Smith
said.
Auburn dominated the boards
outrebounding the Gator's 44-28.
Earl Banks had nine rebounds and
Benny Anthony had eight. Anthony
also scored 15 points playing only
19 minutes and had an excellent
defensive game.
"Benny was the stabilizing force
in the middle and on defense,"
Smith said.
Reggie Hannahled Florida with 16
points and nine rebounds.
Any suggestions that the Tigers
would be flat after the last week's
67-65 last second defeat to Ken­tucky
were quickly quieted as
Auburn pulled away from Florida
early in the game.
"I was not that concerned about
being flat after Kentucky," Smith
said. "We have a tougher element
on the court than last year."
Valavicius finished with 12
points, Price had 12, Poindexter
eight and Banks six. .
For Florida Tyrone Young had
13, Mike Milligan 12 and Mark
Giombetti eight.
Attendence was 4,737.
Auburn is now 3-0 at home and 3-5
on the road.

SMITH LOOKS ON
.Tigers have a "tougher element" this year
seen action in eight Auburn games
this season. Henson is averaging
2.3 points per game with a high of
six points against Southeastern
Conference rival Tennessee.
While in high school, Henson led
Benedictine High School to its ninth
straight Catholic high school state
championship his senior year. In
his final year, Henson averaged 17
points per game and 4.8 rebounds.
Alvin Mumphord is another
spark in Smith's outstanding fresh­men
machine. Mumphord, like
Henson has not seen action in all
the Auburn games this season, but
Mumphord has his share.
Mumphord, a e-foot-2, 170 lb.
guard from Birmingham has
played in nine games this year and
is averaging 2.1 points per game
with a high of five against Texas
Wesleyan.
The Carver High School
graduate averaged 16 points a
game in his senior year, while
averaging eight rebounds a game.
As a senior, Mumphord led his
team to a 30-2 record and the Class
4A State Championship.
Forward Frank Poindexter, a
6-foot-6, 185 lb. player from
Orlando, Fla., is averaging 5.6
points each game, with a high of
eight on three different occassions.
In 11 games this year, Poin­dexter
is shooting .462 from the
field and Smith is pleased with his
performance so far this year.
Poindexter played at Evans High
School and was named central
Florida's player of the year by the
Orlando Tip-off Club. Poindexter
led his high school squad to a 30-2
record his senior year.
The cream of the crop of the four
is Darrell Lockhart, a 6-foot-9, 215
lb. forward out of Thomaston, Ga.
Lockhart has been the high
scorer in two Auburn games and
has shared the UUe once. In addi­tion,
Lockhart has been the leading
Auburn rebounder in four games.
Lockhart is averaging 8.4 points
a game with a high of 19 last
Saturday against Florida.Lockhart
led the team with 16 rebounds also
against Florida.
Lockhart is the leading Auburn
rebounder with an average of 5.6
per game. The Auburn Ifreshman
is also shooting .500 from the field.
Lockhart led Auburn In rebounds
and shared the UUe of high scorer
in the Auburn-Kentucky game Jan.
2. Auburn lost to the nationally
ranked Wildcats by only two points
65-67.
Smith said he was pleased with
the entire group of freshmen, but
the Auburn coach seemed to think
last year was only a good recruit­ing
year, nothing exceptional.
The reason for Smith's statement
is the strong conference. In the
Southeastern Conference, it's tough
to win on the road and competiUon
is tough with teams like LSU and
Kentucky.
Auburn basketball is climbing
the ladder of success, and it's easy
to see how with fine recruiting.

Athletic Department
denies NCAA violation
By Steve Beaird
Plainsman Sportswriter
The Athletic Department has
denied published reports that an
Auburn recruiter allegedly offered
a high school player $300 to sign an
athletic scholarship with the Uni­versity.
Calling the reports "rumor,"
head football Coach Doug Barfield
flatly rejected a copyrighted story
that appeared in the Huntsville
Times Dec. 8 linking Auburn
alumnus Charles Cox to the alleged
bribery attempt of a Huntsville
student-athlete.
'It's just a rumor,'' Barfield told
the Montgomery Advertiser, when
the reports reached his office.
"You hear hundreds of them this
time of year. I think it's been
overplayed and overwritten."
The offer was reportedly made to
induce the student to sign his
scholarship with Auburn by the
NCAA signing deadline. Induce­ments
are a violation of NCAA
recruiting statutes.
The published reports claim that
Cox, a Huntsville insurance execu­tive
and long-time Auburn re­cruiter,
offered Steve Booker, a
prospective Auburn football
signee, $300 to sign his grant-in-aid
scholarship with the Tigers.
Booker, a 6-foot-2, 196-pound
linebacker from Butler High
School, said Cox offered him $300
with which to buy Christmas pre­sents.
Cox reportedly threatened to
take legal action against Booker
for "defamation of character and
slander."
Also named in the pending court
suit were ButlerPrincipal Edward
E. Seal and head football Coach
John Childress.
Officials at Butler High said they
contacted the NCAA about the
matter after Booker reportedly
talked with his coach.
Booker, according to reports, has
already been interviewed by an
official from the NCAA regarding
the alleged recruiting violations by
Auburn.
According to Times Sports
Editor John Pruett, who was con­tacted
Monday, there have been no
new developments since the story
broke almost a month ago.
"Nobody's saying anything at
the present time about the situa­tion,"
Pruett said.
Pruett told the Plainsman that
Booker and teammate Adam
Schrieber had given recruiters the
impression that both of them were
going to sign their scholarships
with the same school.
Schrieber announced early that
he was signing with Auburn. Pruett
said that an Auburn official called
the Times later the same day and
announced that Booker was also
signing with Auburn.
Pruett told the official that it was
a policy of the newspaper to get the
announcement directly from the
player himself to insure confirma­tion.
Booker reportedly called the
Times sometime afterward to con­firm
that he was signing his
grant-in-aid with Auburn.
Meanwhile, the University of
Alabama was under the impression
that Booker had unofficially
agreed to sign with them. "It
caused a big stir in Tuscaloosa,"
Pruett said.
According to Pruett, two Ala­bama
coaches made a trip to
Huntsville, reportedly to find out
why Booker had changed his mind
and to see if it was too late to
convince him to sign with
Alabama.
Before they arrived, Booker
went to his coach and told him that
Cox had offered him the $300 to sign
with Auburn.
Cox strongly denies the story. He
told the Times that he offered
Booker a job by which the student
could earn up to $300 to buy
Christmas presents.
Booker's coach and principal
called the NCAA office after
hearing the story. An NCAA offi­cial
who was reportedly in the state
to supervise the signings Dec. 8,
was called in to take Booker's
statement.
The official told Pruett that it
was NCAA policy that he make no
comment to the press concerning
the situation.
Pruett said the official report­edly
flew back to the NCAA offices
and has not returned to the state
since.
*
Schrieber signed with Auburn,
but Booker signed his grant with
Alabama.
Booker's decision reportedly
angered many Auburn supporters
who still claim that Alabama
reported Auburn to the NCAA for
recruiting violations which
resulted in theUniversity's present
two-year probation.
Barfield made an unofficial visit
to Huntsville to see Cox,according
to Pruett. Although no details of the
meeting were made public, Pruett
said he believes Barfield asked Cox
not to help recruit athletes for the
athletic program any more.
Coach Barfield was out of town
and could not be reached for
comment on the alleged meeting
with Cox.
It was not determined what, if
any, action has been taken by the
athletic department concerning the
matter.
Glance second

President Carter doesn 't want
to play ball with Soviet Union
By Ed Moore
Sports Editor
It happens every four years
about this time. One country or
another threatens to boycott the
^Olympics because somebody
doesn't like somebody else's politi­cal
policies. If that's not bad
enough some countries are told to
stay home by the host country
(usually after the host country
promised it would not do that) for
the same reason.
Traditionally African countries
are involved. Small "inconsequen­tial"
teams which (it's thought)
won't make much difference if the
team is there or not. It's sad when
any athlete is barred from the
Games because his government is
too busy trying to gain the world's
spotlight to think about him.

This time, it's hit home.
Prosident Carter has warned of a
possible United States withdrawal
from the 1980 Games in Moscow to
protest the Soviet Union's invasion
of Afghanistan.
In other words, if you don't get
|>ut of our friend's yard, we won't
come to your house to play with
you. We won't play catch unless
you do what we say.
Carter's been spending too much
time at Amy's P.E. class.

Briefly
Auburn's wrestling team was
ranked 18th nationally in the
December ranking of Amateur
Wrestling News. LSU, last year's
SEC champ and the only other SEC
team ranked, was 11th...
Kyle Macy became Kentucky's
27th player to score 1,000 points in
his career earlier this season.
Auburn has had seven...
Dwight Anderson quit the
Kentucky basketball team in
December after a dispute about not
being used properly...
An Auburn basketball team has
never won in Lexington...
William Andrews became the
first Atlanta Falcon running back
to gain more than 1,000 yards in a
season rushing for 1,023 yards in
1979...
Pepper Rodgers was fired at
Georgia Tech in Decmeber.
Rodgers was hired in 1974 and had
a 74-64-3 record as Tech head
football coach...
John Lotz was 83-88 as Florida
head basketball coach at his resig­nation
last Saturday...
Swimming World magazine has
Florida ranked number one in the
nation in swimming...
A protest is appropriate. I don't
like commie invasions any more
than Carter does, but amateur
sports should not be used as the
trump card.
The suggestion is absurd any­way.
If I invaded another country I
wouldn't pull out just because
somebody else threatened not to
jump in my pole vault pit. Can a
100-meter race change the basic
communist manifesto of taking
over the world? If it can, forget
politicians, let's elect athletes pres­ident.
Bruce Jenner maybe.
Year after year the government
rejects plans to help the amateur
athletes, and now it wants to tell
them who they can and can't
compete against. The United
States hasn't always agreed with
the foreign policy of many of the
teams represented in many
Olympics, but nothing was done.
Now an international incident half­way
across the world could deter­mine
the outcome of a noble game.
If we really want to help
Afghanistan we'll do more than
keep our relay batons at home.
No less an authority than my
nominee for president Bruce
Jenner said, "Politicians— get
involved because it is such a big
international event. Jimmy Carter
can't even finish a 10-kilometer
race. When he can, then he can
start making decisions about
sports."
Exactly.
Carter should forget his jock
diplomacy and take his protest
elsewhere. We have enough grade
school politicians in the world.
Notes: The SEC regained a little of
its lost prestige by winning two of
three bowl games with Alabama
leading the way to a national
championship. It was great to see.
Charlie McLendon win his last
game as his fired up Tigers
drubbed Wake Forest 34-10.
Tennessee almost gave the confer­ence
a perfect postseason mark,
but lost in the final minutes 27-22 to
Purdue.
CBS-TV gave Auburn plug after
plug at the Blue-Gray Game on
Christmas day. The broadcasting
crew gave Charlie Trotman the
most valuable player award for the
South (well deserved) and said
Doug Barfield was one of the finest
young head coaches in the country.
The cameras also spent much time
showing Aubie's antics on the
sidelines and fans yelling War
Eagle. Thanks, CBS.
Just when I thought it was
impossible to win on the road in the
SEC this year, Alabama upsets
LSU. Even so, don't look for many
road wins by anybody this year, not
even Kentucky and LSU. Auburn is
3-0 at home thus far, with two of
those victories agains SEC oppon­ents.
